About Bridal & Traditional Makeup
Why I Love What I Do
Makeup is my way of bringing joy and confidence to your biggest celebrations. I’m Riya, and this isn’t just work for me - it’s a chance to be part of your memories, especially when creating those authentic Maharashtrian bridal and traditional looks that I’m so passionate about.
What I Offer
- I specialize in Maharashtrian bridal makeup, from the grand Peshwai bride feel (think bold eyes, perfect chandrakor bindi, and classic nath) to a softer, more natural wedding day look for pre-wedding events or festivals.
- Custom wedding makeup that matches your style, whether you want to go all-out glam or keep things soft.
- I’ll handle traditional saree draping and hairstyling too - from neat buns with gajra to easy-going braids and twists.
- I take care of not just brides, but also your whole family - your mother, sister, kaku, mausi, or friends. Anyone who wants to look and feel special for a wedding or puja is welcome.
What to Expect
- Local Marathi touches are important to me - so you’ll get that real, marathi mulgi (Marathi girl) vibe.
- I use looks and styles that actually work for our skin tones and outfits; no random trends, just what suits you.
- If you want something minimal, that’s cool. Not every event needs full-on bridal glam.
- I keep things chill and friendly, but also make sure every detail is right, from your mundavalya to your drape.
If you love a mix of tradition and comfort, and want someone who genuinely cares about your day (and your family’s, too), I’d love to be there for you.

My Story
Hey! I'm Riya, CIDESCO certified and loving every bit of this makeup journey. My first model kicked things off, and since then, I’m just experimenting non-stop—straight looks, wild Halloween faces, you name it. My family’s always my guinea pigs, especially my mom—doing her makeup was so special. Big thanks to all of you for sitting through my practice sessions, never bailing, and letting me try crazy new stuff. Loads more looks to come, pakka (for sure)!
My Work
All kinds of makeup & styling - I do Peshwai Maharashtrian bridal makeup, smokey eye makeup, fantasy Halloween makeup, plus hair styling and saree draping.
Always practicing, always learning - Most days I’m testing new techniques—thanks to my models for letting me practice and improve.
Fun, collaborative sessions - You’re not just a client, you’re part of the process. We chat, laugh, and build your look together.
From simple to full drama - Soft natural, bold runway editorial makeup, or full character—just tell me your vibe, I’ll make it happen.
